New Delhi, March 16 – Former Indian cricketer Munaf Patel has congratulated Kuldeep Yadav, the winner of the 2026 T20 World Cup for India, after Kuldeep married his childhood sweetheart, Vanshika, calling the wedding the most beautiful moment.
Kuldeep, a key member of India's white-ball team and a prominent figure in the Indian Premier League (IPL), began a new chapter in his personal life when he married Vanshika in a private ceremony attended by close family members and friends at the Welcomhotel The Savoy on Saturday.
Munaf, who is the bowling coach for Delhi Capitals in the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL), wrote a heartfelt message on X, wishing them a lifetime of happiness and also reminding Kuldeep to throw a party when he joins the DC camp for the 2026 IPL.
"What a beautiful moment! Wishing the happy couple a lifetime of joy and togetherness. May your journey be filled with endless love and laughter. So happy for you both!, @imkuldeep18 @DelhiCapitals will have a party," he wrote on X while sharing a photo of Kuldeep and his wife.
Meanwhile, Kuldeep also shared photos of the wedding on Instagram with a message for his wife. He wrote, "Our forever begins now."
The wedding marks the culmination of a long-standing relationship. Kuldeep and Vanshika are childhood friends from Kanpur, where their families lived just three kilometers apart.
The couple got engaged on June 4 in a traditional ceremony in Lucknow. The wedding, planned for November, was postponed due to Kuldeep's commitments during the multi-format series against South Africa.
Kuldeep was retained by DC ahead of the 2026 IPL. He is expected to join the camp soon for the preparation of the next season, which will start on March 28. Delhi will play their first match against Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on April 1.
